Chapter 54: She Must Make a Choice

"So."

On the return carriage, Borgia was silent for a long time and asked, "Do you want to investigate this Caping next?" ”

"Let's investigate."

Al nodded, but quickly shook his head again, "It's just that even if we investigate, we probably won't have any clues." ”

Kapin is undoubtedly a scumbag.

If these victims were trafficked, then Kapin is undoubtedly the most suspicious.

But this time, the serial murders they dealt with were clearly in the style of the Blood Cult or the Rose School.

The investigation is definitely going to be investigated, but the chances of being able to investigate the clues are slim.

"If you know he's a criminal, can't you arrest him?"

Ember asked suddenly.

"As much as I would love to bring this scumbag to justice, I unfortunately can't."

Al's face sank, and he said slowly, "Even if we are on night duty, we must act according to the law, and even if we arrest people, we can only arrest criminal suspects." Unfortunately, even if everyone knows that Capin is a criminal, you can never arrest him if you don't have evidence. ”

"Even if you arrest him, he can easily get away with the defense of a lawyer."

Kapin is undoubtedly a pretty clever criminal.

No one has been able to hold on to him for so long, just because he is careful enough to do things.

Beckland has a population of five million, 30% of which are concentrated in the East End.

It was the most chaotic place in all of Beckland, and the most lax police force.

As a result, more than ninety percent of all crime in Beckland comes from the East End.

And most of these crimes are ordinary crimes, which have nothing to do with extraordinary power.

In such cases, the official has no law enforcement powers, and the National Police Agency is responsible for them.

While in theory, the police are supposed to fight crime, in practice the police in Beckland rarely enforce the law in the East End.

In the Eastern End, there have even been cases where someone has killed someone in front of the police and the police have pretended to turn a blind eye.

Because for them, it is the disorder and chaos in the East District that creates the 'order' in the other districts.

And Copin is clever because he has never committed crimes only in the East End.

In this way, even if others know that he is a criminal, there is nothing they can do about him.

First, there is no evidence, and second, the police are unwilling to offend this rich man who has a relationship with the above.

"Don't guess."

Simon's hoarse voice rang in the ears of several people, "I think I probably already know what they have in common. ”

"What?"

Al was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked.

"Eve used to be like Kathy."

"What's the same?"

Al Leng froze, but quickly reacted.

The investigation was not without results.

At least they had learned that Casey had to sell her flesh for a living.

And Simon said the same......

"...... in the end"

Al wanted to ask what was going on.

But when he came into contact with Simon's gloomy face, he finally chose to be silent.

"I'm sorry."

"You don't need to apologize."

Simon took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "It's not a shame, before becoming a night watchman, Eve's life was very difficult, her father abandoned his wife and children when she was still young, and her mother dragged the four of them to grow up. ”

After her mother died of illness from overwork, the family was cut off from all sources of income. In order to fill her stomach and support her sister and two younger brothers, she can only choose to go out to work. ”

"So, she went to work as a maid in a baron's house."

"However, the meager salary is still not enough to support the four siblings."

"Her sister was the first to starve to death, followed by the youngest brother."

"Of the three younger siblings, only one survived."

"Soon after that, the eldest young master of the baron's family raped only her."

Simon raised his head, showed his red eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, "She was only 11 years old at that time!" ”

"But in order not to lose this job, in order not to starve her last brother to death, she can only endure."

"But at the age of 13, the baron found her being molested by the eldest young master."

"But that damn guy, he actually claimed to have been seduced by Eve!"

"The blind baron threw Eve out, and even complained to the servants' association, so that she would no longer be employed, and she would no longer receive the meager salary that would support her siblings."

"In order to survive, she can only choose to sell her body after being fired."

"You know what? Eve even thought that if she hadn't gone to work as a maid in the first place, but had gone straight to selling herself, maybe her younger siblings wouldn't have died. Ridiculous, right? ”

Simon's smile was a little cold, and he gritted his teeth and said, "But she has completely broken off with the past, and she has a bright future!" But why, why at such a time! Bang! ”

Simon smashed his fist on the wall of the carriage, directly smashing it through, startling passers-by on the side of the road.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was a little heavy, and Lorota clutched her chest, feeling a little cramping in her heart.

Eve, she's only 19 years old!

She only joined the Nightwatch four years ago, when she was 15 years old!

Korolota and Eve have always had a close relationship, and Eve once said that her mother died when she was ten years old.

What has she experienced in the past five years?

"If that's the case, can we use this to lock down the identity of the victim in advance?"

Ember saw that the atmosphere was a little unpleasant, and changed the subject.

"It's hard."

Al lowered his head in silence, but Borgia whispered.

"Why?"

Ember was puzzled.

"Do you know how many people there are in Beckland?"

Al asked rhetorically, and without waiting for Ember to answer, he took the initiative to say, "Five million." ”

"Nearly half of the five million people are women, that's two and a half million."

"And in Beckland, at least 1/6 of the women who have worked in this kind of profession."

"That is, the potential target of the murderer is at least 400,000 people!"

"Is this a bit ......?"

It was also the first time that Lorota had heard such an argument, and she opened her mouth, but she couldn't make a sound.

"Exaggerated?"

Simon laughed at himself, his smile was pale and cold, and there was a hint of disgust for this world, "But this is the reality, this is the capital of the Kingdom of Rune, Beckland. ”

"As one writer put it, if a woman loses her job as a maid, she has to choose between selling her body or starving to death."

The atmosphere in the carriage fell silent and silent again.

The only thing they know now is that the victims all had to sell their bodies to survive, but now they all have decent jobs, and they all do decent jobs.

This could indeed narrow the scope of suspicion slightly, but it is only from 400,000 to 100,000.

It is difficult to find the victims from these 100,000 people.

There is no doubt that the case is once again deadlocked.
